In a Love Nest with the Aloof CEO
Chapter 502

Colors had long drained from Sharon's face. She rebuked, “What elsecan we do? None of your family members are reliable! I guess we'llhave to get in touch with Tobias and get him to compensate us for ourloss! However, we can't get Eva involved!”

Skylar found the incident to be too much of a coincidence as she hadjust brought up a similar topic in front of Tobias some time ago. In theend, Kevin ended up causing a mess.

When she was on her way back, she recalled her cousin would besitting for a public examination soon.

Afraid the incident would adversely impact Kevin's study, Skylardecided to do something since she was on good terms with him.

Thus, she dropped by Ford Group the next day. However, she wasworried Tobias would be surprised by her presence as she hadn'tinformed him beforehand.

Their relationship had yet to reach the extent they could barge into oneanother's life without informing the other party beforehand.

Skylar's presence had grabbed the attention of the company’s staff. Theonlookers started whispering behind her back.

The woman with shades knocked on the door. To her surprise, Sheldonwas the one to answer.

She removed her shades and stared at the man in front of her with afrown because Tobias was supposed to be the one answering instead.On the other hand, when Sheldon saw Skylar, he beckoned her to joinhim in the office.

Skylar didn't bother to hold back and marched into the office as invited.When she started surveying the surroundings, Sheldon announced,“Tobias isn't around.”

“Will he be coming back today?”

Shrugging his shoulders, Sheldon answered, “Actually, I can't be surebecause I'm afraid to poke my nose into his business.”

“If that's the case, I'll get going as well.”

Sheldon stopped her and suggested, “Hold on, why don't we talk aboutsomething else? Shall we talk about the time you accuse my girlfriend?”Skylar clenched her fists to keep herself calm. She forced a smile andanswered, “Oh? Since when have I accused Winnie of anything? Theshowdown was inevitable since there can't be two of us in the industry.”Smiling, Sheldon showed no signs of avenging Winnie either. Headded, “I guess you're the better half of Tobias because of somethingyou have in common with him — you're both cruel. Anyway, I won't beavenging Winnie because she has brought upon her own misfortune.She shouldn't have gotten full of herself. I've told her it's over for us,but she refuses to stay away from me.”

I guess he's finally snapped out of confusion and figured out it's notworth his time and effort to take his relationship with Winnie seriously,huh?

When that crossed her mind, she asked, “Are you going to hold agrudge against me? I mean, you're not even directly involved in thesaga in the first place.”

Slouching against the chair, Sheldon replied nonchalantly, “Of coursenot! I can't possibly pick on Tobias’ girlfriend, can 1? I'm well aware ofthe things I'm capable of after being tormented by the cunning bunchin the company. Since I can't be much of a threat, I'll just continuebeing the useless brat I've always been.”

A gloomy expression loomed over Sheldon'’s face. Thus, Skylar waspretty sure being denied must have taken quite a toll on him.

He thought he would achieve his goal after being rebellious for once,but things turned out the other way round. His despair was written allover his face.

After losing himself in a process of thought for a few minutes, Sheldonadded with his lips pursed, “As compared to Winnie, I replace you quite aninteresting woman. Actually, I'm conscious of Tobias’ whereabouts. He'sat a nearby restaurant with Idania. I'll have you decide on your nextbest course of action, but being deceived is not half bad.”
